No! It's pretty! It kind of reminds me of an icecream cake for some reason...

It doesn't look to bad from far away, but I think the colour needs to be a bit brighter, it sort of blends into the ice and all the flowers up close look so tacky. Yuck. Totally a personal thing though. In fact, I didn't like any of Mao's dress last year either, especially the feather duster she had shoved down the front of last year's lp dress!

Masquerade - it's just a bit too much... poor girl, you'd like to see her able to relax a bit sometime. It does make a more einteresting short program than long though. Popped axel, and was the 3lz 2-footed poosibly? - (no, on replay looked ok, just slightly tight). I LOVED the layback spin, though i think she can execute it even better. Nakano by contrast presented a smooth confident program, it's a shame to see Mao so frantic, she should surely be able to display her talent in other styles...

That program is fun, I'm buying it!
Good Lord, she had that crown in the palm of her hand.
I enjoyed that it did not look like she was *trying* *so* *hard*, in contrast to Mao.
This is a pretty wonderful program, if she delivers it to potential in the big moments.
